3.0 out of 5 stars Bawdy Restoration comedy., 9 April 2001
Wycherley's comedy is firmly of the restoration period, a bawdy and sometimes lewd play, one could quite easily imagine Sid James, Barbara Windsor et al in the leading roles! On another level it could be argued that this play is commenting more seriously on the free-and-easy atmosphere of Restoration England.
